I know you're here on Tumblr and I fully suspect you namesearch yourself. (No shade, I do the same thing to see people saying nice things about my books!)
I'm Scarlett Gale. You don't know me yet, but my new life's goal is to get internet famous enough for you to book me on DropOut. I'm hot. I'm weird. I'm deeply qualified. I have no dignity. I have a very specific list of skills and experience:
Community musical theater ages 5-20
Internationally recognized burlesque performer for over a decade
Experience with improv AT ANIME CONVENTIONS
Cosplayer
Started playing D&D with version 2.5 when we still had to calculate THAC0
Co-produced and performed in the Alison Bechdel-approved Bechdel Test Burlesque, which was included in the Women and Gender Studies program at the University of Oregon
Femdom fantasy romance novelist
Cat lover
Competent juggler
Put me on your shows. As many of them as you want. I will do Game Changer. I will do a Dimension 20 campaign. I will do Um, Actually. I will bring my own costume wardrobe and wear a strappy bra and a very cool cape and switch wigs every five minutes just to be confusing.
Here is a picture of me eating cheese backstage while dressed as Wonder Woman:
You will not regret booking me. I'll fit in perfectly: I have a BA in Digital Art and lower back pain.
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!
EDIT: For proper credit or further questions about his system please find my professor on twitter @/kurtishanlon
Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:
Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.
(You can hear it here)
In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.
Every time I see that G--gle phone photoshop commercial my heart is filled with infinite sadness, like, yeah it's cool you can have a good family photo, it's cool you can do that, but god, there is something to be said for the honesty of a family photo where you're blinking, or crying, or have ugly wrinkles.
What is too unsightly for you? Would you swipe-click-replace out the image of my cousin crying on our Florida trip family reunion photo? Would you remove the plastic snake I have clenched in my grip, which I still have to this day? Would you scoff at the wrinkles around our eyes and the strands of hair on our faces as we squint into the wind, the day before the massive storm? Would I remember it if I didn't have these reminders, if the picture was perfect and clean, all children in a row with perfect gleaming white tombstone tooth smiles? No tears. No plastic snake.
